Well where to start?Ive had hives for 7 years now and I'm only 24, I first got them when i was staying at a friends house and i when we woke up she said "what is all over your face?" And i looked in the mirror and had hives all over my face!I went to the doctor and got benadryl to take, and that just made them worse..throughout the years Ive tried taking different antihistamines and going to different allergist and nothing worked Ive actually found that I'm allergic to antihistamines..I know i know its rare but I'm telling you i can have no hives and take claritin or any kind and have HUGE hives all over my face..Its really depressing cause i seem to get them after 3pm about 4-5 times a week and i cant take anything for them!My friends tell me to go out in public anyway but its so embarrassing cause i only get them on my face and i don't know who would feel comfortable going out like that..Just recently i went to a new allergist and got more test done to see what is causing my hives and i found once again that i wasn't allergic to any foods,molds,chemicals,nothing!But then we did a test to see if i had autoimmune urticaria and turns out i do!And i guess i should be happy because after 7 years i finally found out that its my own immune system attacking itself but I'm not because i cant take anything for it cause it causes me bad hives..CAN anyone help me or does anyone have a case like mine?I'm desperate
